In the face of such a tragic loss, the soldiers and civilians of the participating countries all hoped to end this damn war as soon as possible, but because this space-time axis power was stronger than in history in terms of strength and performance, the Allies could not completely defeat it for a long time, and it was not until November 1946, after a loud bang in the desert of New Mexico, the United States, that world peace reappeared

Although the impact of that "serious accident" on the US "Manhattan Project" was greater than that of the bombing of the Dashui factory on Germany's atomic bomb development, the United States' national strength and resources were far from being comparable to Germany's, and although Germany had acquired some Chinese technology, it decided to directly develop a miniaturized atomic bomb that could be carried by ballistic missiles, which increased the difficulty of development, so in the end, the Americans got ahead of the curve and got the atomic bomb out of it

However, many scientists involved in the "Manhattan Project" opposed the use of atomic bombs by the US military against the United States or Japan, and the scientist Szilard, who originally suggested that Roosevelt allocate funds to research the atomic bomb, believed that if the atomic bomb was used against the army, a drop could not even kill a fully deployed armored division, with its high cost, the cost ratio is far inferior to conventional weapons, and if it is used to bomb the enemy's cities, it will kill and injure mainly civilians, which is undoubtedly a serious humanitarian crime. Therefore, Szilard strongly opposed the use of atomic bombs by the US government in warfare, and hoped that it would only use the atomic bomb as a countermeasure after Germany and Japan developed the atomic bomb in the future.

Roosevelt, naturally, did not take these pacifist words to heart, but now the atomic bomb weighs no less than 4 tons. Strategic bombers can only be used to throw them, and the Allies have not yet seized air supremacy on the Western European continent, and the probability of being intercepted and shot down by the enemy is very high, and the distance between the US front line in the Pacific and the Japanese mainland is far beyond the combat radius of any kind of US strategic bomber, so it is really difficult to put the atomic bomb into actual combat.

Therefore, Roosevelt decided to release the video of the first atomic bomb to the public and hype its terrifying power to see if he could force the German and Japanese governments to surrender conditionally.

In this era, there was no PS technology in later generations, and it was easy for insiders to see the problem of counterfeiting methods in film and television shooting. So after the video of the first atomic bomb explosion in the United States was released. Governments were quick to confirm its authenticity, and inevitably developed a great deal of fear about it.

Although secret negotiations with Germany and Japan failed because of the disparity between the two countries' conditions (Note 1), the rest of the Axis camp was discouraged by the power of the atomic bomb. Roosevelt's decision paid off. Meantime. Because of the fear of harming civilians, the atomic bomb was not immediately used to bomb the cities of the Axis countries. It has also made the international image of the United States, which is much worse than in history, more positive.

But what Roosevelt did not expect was that just three days after the US government released the video of the entire atomic bombing, China's Xinhua News Agency published the full text of an editorial written by Taizu himself, "All imperialism is a paper tiger." For the first time, it openly stated that he "is not one or two advanced weapons that determine victory or defeat, but the person who uses the weapon is the real deciding factor." At the same time, he pointed out that the atomic bomb can only have the greatest effect before it is used, and if it is really used in warfare, with its ultra-high cost and extremely low output, the effect is even inferior to that of conventional weapons. In order to prove the point in the editorial, the editorial was followed by a popular science article written by Hu Weidong on the mechanism, lethal methods, and means of protection, in which the yield, cost, and annual production capacity of the US atomic bomb were estimated

There are world-class nuclear experts in Germany and Japan, and it is clear at a glance that Hu Weidong did not guess out of thin air, and the results reached after careful calculations are not convinced by his views in the article. After learning that the United States' current atomic bombs were too heavy and could only be airdropped by bombers, Germany immediately strengthened its air defense forces in the three Low Countries and the mainland, while the Japanese side, because the US military's strategic bombing could not threaten the Japanese mainland for the time being, they did not need to adjust their defense strategy at all.

Hu Weidong pointed out in the article that the United States currently has at most 3 atomic bombs left in its hands (the first batch of 5 in history was built by the United States, but the prince only destroyed the plutonium enough to make an atomic bomb in this time and space. And even with the strong national strength of the United States, it is impossible to continue to use the extremely expensive laboratory method like this batch of experimental atomic bombs (even if it is produced industrially, the cost of an atomic bomb is very terrifying, and nuclear materials alone, according to the international market price at the end of the 1960s, an early uranium bomb exceeded 6 billion US dollars, even if converted according to purchasing power, it is at least equivalent to 1 billion US dollars in 1947), but if it is to be produced industrially, It would have to wait another year and a half (20 months in history) for a new atomic bomb to be built at the earliest, which greatly reduced the fear of the Axis bloc, and governments began to build civil air defense projects in important cities such as the capital to prevent a possible nuclear attack.

Under these circumstances, Roosevelt, who had no choice but to resist the pressure of public opinion at home and abroad, ordered the dropping of atomic bombs on several major industrial cities in the Ruhr area of Germany, in order to force the Axis powers to surrender at an early date and reduce the casualties of the Allied forces, especially the American army.

However, what Roosevelt did not expect was that the second type of jet fighter developed by the Germans, the Me.P.1099, a high-subsonic jet fighter with a maximum flight speed close to the speed of sound, had been successfully developed and equipped with troops not long ago, and at the same time, because the pilots were familiar with the new type of jet aircraft much faster than the original piston plane to jet fighter, they quickly formed combat effectiveness, so that the air supremacy over the English Channel, which the Allies had so hard to recapture, was once again lost

And, as in history, the U.S. military had a problem transporting the atomic bomb, and a B-29 carrying the atomic bomb accidentally crashed into the sea due to a mechanical failure on the way over the Atlantic, causing the United States to lose an atomic bomb in vain, and the Allied nuclear attack plan was already overshadowed before it really began.

When the first B-29 carrying an atomic bomb took off from a British airfield, the United States had only two atomic bombs left, including this one, and the new atomic bomb would have to wait another year and a half to be produced at the earliest. However, to the blood of the US government, the B-29 ran into the German army's new high-subsonic jet fighter before it could fly over the Western European continent, and as a result, the B-29 and most of its escort fighters were shot down

Note 1: After the atomic bomb, the US government demanded even more stringent requirements, Roosevelt only agreed that Germany should keep the territory before the invasion of Poland, and in the case of Japan, he demanded that it give up all the land it had occupied, which was naturally impossible for the German and Japanese governments to accept.
